Commercial Description:
This hoppy, farmhouse style ale has a champagne like effervescence with a crisp but light on the tongue finish. Similar to the Belgian Saison style , this beer serves well as an aperitif. Hennepin has a majestic golden hue. The style is called Grisette or farm house and is considered to be in the domain of the Belgian Saisons.

Hazy golden pour with a small foamy yellow head. Wheat and banana in the nose. Good carbonation and solid mouthfeel. Tastes like a really solid hefe - wheat, bread, bananas, clove - but a little stronger. Really nice brew.

Bottle shared by mmtmatrix. Poured a clear golden color with a fluffy white head. Aroma of fruity esters (banana) and yeast. Semi-sweet, spicy, estery flavors including banana and soft citrus fruits contributed to the taste. Just the right amount of carbonation. Refreshing taste, definitely a solid saison.

Pours a hazy orange color with a nice full foamy head, that fades to a tasty lacing. Couldnt smell to much because a being sick, but I what I tasted was pretty good.

good, not great, ommegang. The spice was a little intense at first. A bit too much for my liking, but it grew on me as i drank it. Worth having once and a while

Pale yellow-orange pour with a white head. Very cloudy. Clovy aroma with hints of banana and tree fruits. Sweet fruity flavor with lots of yeast. Spicy with cloves and a little sourness. Bitter finish with a surprising hoppiness. Alcohol is hidden well although the label seems to contradict itself as to how much is actually in it.

750ml corked bottle. Fluffy white head. Had the distinct Belgian fruity, citrus notes. Not wonderful, but not terrible. Probably don’t want more than one at a sitting. I was glad to be splitting the big bottle 3 ways.

A pale yellow appearance, thick head, lots of carbonation. The aroma is yeasty, VERY spicy, with citrusy hoppiness thrown in. The flavor is strong, orange peel, coriander, but the strong carbonation I found a little harsh. Lots of lingering on the palate: spicyness and a little bitterness. Good finish, very crisp. Thin to medium mouthfeel. Very nice beer.
